that progress on the new Brevard
college annual is “as well as could
be expected” The staff consists
of 18 members and holds weekly

talk over plans

cided upon as well as the dedica
tion. At present a theme is being
discussed and the business staff
is busy taking subscriptions and
soliciting advertisers. This year
those students who wish to buy a
Pertelote must first pay a deposit
so that the correct number of
book,s may be ordered
Until now only half of the in
dividual pictures have been made,
but it is hoped that everyone will
get this taken care of by the end
of the week.

ed-that the staff of this year’s an

submitted, but must be turned in
to Gerald Martin, Frank Outen,
or Charlie Freeman by December

large enough so that persons in
them can be recognized. Mechan

fluence the judging of the en

OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHIES
. . to all who are innocent. We
greatly regret that a privilege
has been taken away from you
because of only one or a few
guilty ones. Someone, however,
tried to tear off the screen over
the bookstore counter during
the p^t weekend, so the Stu
dents entrance will be kept clos
ed except during the regjular
bookstore hours.

Local Officials At Confer
ence Of Southern Asso
ciation In Memphis
Dr. E. J. Coltrane, president of
the college, and Dean J. J. Stev
enson left last Saturday for Mem
phis, Tenn., to attend the annual
meeting of the Southern Associa
tion of Secondary Colleges and
Universities.
The meeting began on Novem
ber 29 and was over Wednesday,
December 1st. In addition to at
tending the meeting, the two rep
resentatives from Brevard went
to make a report to the associa
tion in an attempt to become recog
nized and accredited by the South
ern Association.
In a visit to the campus last
spring, members of the associa
tion’s admittance board made sev
eral requirements which Brevard
was to meet before gaining en
trance in the association. These
have been met and Dr. Coltrane
and Dean Stevenslon expressed
hopes of returning to the college
with favorable news.
Perhaps the ^eatest change
in the college this fall has been
the acquisition of 3,500 new books
for the James Addison Jones Mem
orial library. This was one of the
requirements as outlined by the
association’s inspecting commit+:ie
last spring.
Another addition ’:Thich should
prove''helpful in gaining admission
into the association was the con
struction of the new infirmary -on
the campus.
After the report to the assoc
iation has been made, it must be
approved by several committees
and a decision will not be known
for probably three months.
